Looks good, also looks like you hardly had any rice at all, lol.

P.S. Im with you though, i still shy away from rice (surprisingly haven't had any since surgery - 1.5+ years! ...and i used to have it almost every day. I even went from a sushi and maki lover to a sashimi lover lol)

P.P.S. I love all the food pics u post ❤️❤️❤️

Wow! 1.5 years!? That’s incredible! I don’t normally have it but I will admit I do take bites of it while I cook lol and I’ve tried to switch to sashimi but I end up throwing up 😭

and thank you!! I love seeing your salads and all your massive spreads of yumminess! 💜🤤

Looks Delish!! ...but Father’s Day is 6/21 this year!😍

You know I saw @ms.sss post and I freaked out thinking I forgot Father’s Day so I ran to my dad and wished him a Happy Father’s Day. He looked at me like I had five heads and was like “thank you????” 😂

Korean BBQ w/ my bf this past weekend. We ordered spicy pork, shrimp, marinated thin beef, thin sliced pork belly, and beef tongue.

I am saying goodbye to meat for sometime now and thought this would be a good way to end the relationship 😭 Ever since my kidney stone scare I’ve been thinking a lot about my health and I’ve never had a problem even when I was 140 pounds heavier. I’m going to try to go vegan for a bit and see how that works. Before wls there was a point where I was a strict vegetarian for a year but that was easy because I ate a lot of eggs lol Let’s see how long I can go 😅

The fusion of flavors can be a lot of fun! And, you can get all your nutrients in one. Love salads, and lots of variety cause I eat one everyday. Were kidney stones a result of meat in your diet?

The baking extravaganza continues...

I had defrosted that discovered box of phyllo, so of course I had to use it, so....today we have Spiced Peach-ginger Turnovers!

I had a bite of one. Pretty good, but I’d rather fill my tum with Pavlova. Fam gave the thumbs up though did wonder aloud if I am on a secret mission to make them fat. As if!

Anyway, apologies for clogging this thread with desserts...next thing I post will be healthier, pinky swear.

Ahhh I need to to be like you! That’s great you have one everyday! I find myself having salad throughout the week and then I take a break and have something different the next.

All the doctor said was to try to cut the amount of meat and animal products in my diet. I’m assuming it formed because I eat more meat now vs prior to wls

Last nights dinner: I made arroz con pollo peruano (Peruvian rice and chicken) with a side of papá a la huancaina (creamy yellow potato app) and salsa criolla (spicy onion lime mixture) for my bf.

Normally I would pick at what I cook for him but since yesterday was day 1 of my vegan journey I made tostadas for myself instead. Ingredients: puréed black Beans, avocado, soy chorizo, pico de gallo, lettuce, vegan almond cheese, and habanero sauce.

For today’s Breakfast I’m having a tofu scramble with onions, mushrooms, scallions, spinach, tomatoes, and avocado on the side.

Ok, I will confess that I often do not get excited when I see vegan meals. Sorry vegans everywhere! I'm sure my pics of meat and stuff would make you similarly un-excited, sorry for that too!!

...but I think if there is anyone who could activate my salivating glands over a vegan dish it would be YOU.

Bring it ON! 😂 YES, CHEF!

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
